Saltcon was a Science Fiction Convention held in Salt Lake City, Utah, 15-16 October 1977. The growing shire of am Mor Salann Fasach held a fighting demo and a panel on the SCA. Both of them were well attended.

Several wonderful friends and mentors from al-Barran and Caerthe attended the convention to help us out with the "What is the SCA" panel and the fighting.

Theodric kills Robert. (The audience seem to appreciate this. I'm sure Robert didn't find it as amusing.) Briony of Windermere at Saltcon.

Meistres Rhonwen welcomes others who were there in the early days adding their reminiscences--after over 30 years, her memory is a bit faulty, and much information has disappeared in the fog. E-mail her at julia.west@REMOVETHIS.sff.net.
